In theory, they should have until midnight Tuesday to enter their steps.
If you want to be on the safe side, you can temporarily move the end date for the competition to Tuesday, giving everyone an extra day to enter steps.
Here's how to do that:
- Go to the competition and open the administration box under stats
- Click on 'Alter competition setup' and change the end date of the competition to one day in the future. 
- When you're fairly sure everyone has entered their steps, repeat this process but change the end date back to the original date. 
- Only steps over the specific time period will be calculated.

A competition allows 48 hours to pass before it closes officially and results are emailed out.

And so if your competition ends on a Friday, they should have until Sunday at midnight in order to enter all of their steps.

 

If you want to be on the safe side, however, you can temporarily move the end date for the competition a day or two in the future, giving everyone an extra bit of time to enter steps.

Here's how to do that:

  1. Go to the competition and open the administration box under stats
  2. Click on 'Alter competition setup' and change the end date of the competition to one day in the future. 
  3. When you're fairly sure everyone has entered their steps, repeat this process but change the end date back to the original date. 
  4. Only steps over the specific time period will be calculated.
